Perhaps the brightest young talent of a generation of pre-war amateur drivers, Rolt, an Army officer who would become a celebrated resident of Colditz Castle, won the British Empire Trophy at Donington in an ERA as a 19-year-old before the outbreak of hostilities. When peace returned he was soon back in action with an Alfa Romeo, a Delage and a Nash-Healey. Although he shared Peter Walker's ERA at the 1950 British GP, in the main Rolt restricted himself to national racing, enjoying himself with Rob Walker's Delage in 1951 and, in his only HWM drive, taking second place in the 1952 International Trophy behind team-mate Lance Macklin.
Between 1953 and 1955, Rolt raced Walker's dark-blue Connaught with great success in national events, winning numerous Formula 2, Libre and handicap races, and also drove for the works Jaguar sports car team, paired with the extrovert Duncan Hamilton. This larger-than-life duo won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1953, and took second place the following year both at Le Mans and in the Reims 12 Hours.
